// HOW TO READ THESE NUMBERS

How to read these numbers.

This pooled record aggregates outcomes across all art units assigned to the examiner. The allowance rate of 71% describes past dispositions over 99 decided applications and is not a forecast for any specific application. Aggregate statistics reflect historical performance and vary by individual case, art unit, and application characteristics. Pooled figures provide context for the examiner's overall record but do not predict outcomes on pending or future matters.

These are aggregate statistics from this examiner's past public record — not predictions about any specific application. The per-art-unit figures below show how the record varies across art units. Our approach to patent prosecution →
